The Allied Health Department at QVCC is sponsoring a Red Cross Blood Drive on Wednesday, April 24, from 12 - 4:30 pm at the Danielson campus.

According to the Red Cross, every two seconds someone in the United States needs blood. More than 44,000 blood donations are needed every day, and a single car accident victim can require as many as 100 pints of blood. A strong, stable community blood supply is a critical public health issue, and every donation of one pint of blood can save up to three lives.

Appointments for the Blood Drive can be made online at www.redcrossblood.org or by calling 1-800-733-2767. Registration will take place in the Fireside Lounge. For more information contact Cindi Brassington at 860-412-7233 or cbrassington@qvcc.commnet.edu
